1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
INMAZEB is indicated for the treatment of infection caused by Orthoebolavirus zairense in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Orthoebolavirus zairense infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), and Clinical Studies (14)].
INMAZEB is a combination of Orthoebolavirus zairense glycoprotein-directed human monoclonal antibodies (atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab), indicated for the treatment of infection caused by Orthoebolavirus zairense in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Orthoebolavirus zairense infection. (1)
Limitation of Use
- The efficacy of INMAZEB has not been established for other species of the Orthoebolavirus and Orthomarburgvirus genera.
- Orthoebolavirus zairense can change over time, and factors such as emergence of resistance, or changes in viral virulence could diminish the clinical benefit of antiviral drugs. Consider available information on drug susceptibility patterns for circulating Orthoebolavirus zairense strains when deciding whether to use INMAZEB.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1 Recommended Dosage
INMAZEB is a combination of three human monoclonal antibodies co-formulated in a 1:1:1 ratio of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab. INMAZEB is available as two different strength presentations, containing either 16.67 mg of each antibody per mL or 33.33 mg of each antibody per mL [see Dosage Forms and Strengths (3)].
The recommended dosage of INMAZEB is 50 mg of atoltivimab, 50 mg of maftivimab, and 50 mg of odesivimab per kg diluted and administered as a single intravenous infusion as shown in Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
2.2 Preparation and Administration
INMAZEB must be prepared and administered under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. INMAZEB should be clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution that is free from visible particulates. Discard the vial if the solution is cloudy, discolored or contains particulate matter.
Preparation for Intravenous Infusion
- The recommended dosage is based on 50 mg of atoltivimab, 50 mg of maftivimab, and 50 mg of odesivimab per kg. For example, a patient weighing 50 kg the recommended dosage is 2,500 mg of atoltivimab, 2,500 mg of maftivimab, and 2,500 mg of odesivimab.
- Determine the number of vials needed based on the calculated dose in volume (mL).
-
– The number of vials needed depends on the INMAZEB strength used. Refer to Table 1 for the corresponding volume per kg needed to withdraw from each available strength presentation to prepare dose. -
– Multiple INMAZEB vials may be needed. Each vial contains 14.5 mL of INMAZEB solution, regardless of the strength presentation. For example, for a 50 kg patient, the volume of INMAZEB needed is 150 mL (11 vials) if using the 16.67 mg/16.67 mg/16.67 mg per mL solution or 75 mL (6 vials) if using the 33.33 mg/33.33 mg/33.33 mg per mL solution.

- Do not shake the vial.
- Prior to intravenous infusion, INMAZEB must be further diluted in an intravenous PVC infusion bag containing either 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, or Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP. For neonates, the INMAZEB solution should be diluted in 5% Dextrose Injection, USP (see Table 2). The total volume of the infusion solution to be administered is based on the patient's body weight and is specified in Table 2.
- Select a diluent solution infusion bag of appropriate fill volume based on the patient's body weight (see Table 2). Withdraw and discard from the bag a volume of diluent solution equal to the calculated dose in volume (mL) of INMAZEB. Then add the calculated volume of INMAZEB to the bag. For example:
-
– When using the 16.67 mg/16.67 mg/16.67 mg per mL solution for a 50 kg patient, withdraw and discard 150 mL of diluent from a 500 mL infusion bag. Then add 150 mL of INMAZEB to obtain a total infusion volume of 500 mL. -
– When using the 33.33 mg/33.33 mg/33.33 mg per mL solution for a 50 kg patient, withdraw and discard 75 mL of diluent from a 500 mL infusion bag. Then add 75 mL of INMAZEB to obtain a total infusion volume of 500 mL.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Infusion-Associated Events: Hypersensitivity reactions including infusion-associated events have been reported during and post-infusion with INMAZEB. These may include acute, life-threatening reactions during and after the infusion. Monitor patients and in the case of severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, discontinue the administration of INMAZEB immediately and administer appropriate emergency care. (5.1)
5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Infusion-Associated Events
Hypersensitivity reactions including infusion-associated events have been reported during and post-infusion with INMAZEB. These may include acute, life-threatening reactions during and after the infusion. Monitor all patients for signs and symptoms including, but not limited to, hypotension, chills and elevation of fever, during and following INMAZEB infusion. In the case of severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, discontinue the administration of INMAZEB immediately and administer appropriate emergency care [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Infusion could not be completed in 1% of subjects who received INMAZEB due to infusion-associated adverse events. The rate of infusion of INMAZEB may be slowed or interrupted if the patient develops any signs of infusion-associated events or other adverse events [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Infusion-Associated Events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
The most common adverse events (incidence ≥20%) were pyrexia, chills, tachycardia, tachypnea, and vomiting. (6.1)

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Overall, 382 adult and pediatric subjects with Orthoebolavirus zairense infection received INMAZEB in one clinical trial (the PALM trial) and as part of an expanded access program conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo during a Orthoebolavirus zairense outbreak in 2018-2019. In the PALM trial, the safety of INMAZEB was evaluated in a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial, in which 154 subjects (115 adult subjects and 39 pediatric subjects) received INMAZEB [50 mg of atoltivimab, 50 mg of maftivimab, and 50 mg of odesivimab per kg (3 mL/kg)] intravenously as a single infusion and 168 subjects received an investigational control [see Clinical Studies (14)]. All subjects received optimized standard of care treatment. During the same outbreak, INMAZEB [50 mg of atoltivimab, 50 mg of maftivimab, and 50 mg of odesivimab per kg (3 mL/kg)] was given to 228 subjects (190 adult subjects and 38 pediatric subjects) in the expanded access program.
The safety data described below is derived from the PALM trial.
Table 4 summarizes adverse events that were reported during INMAZEB infusion. The evaluation of adverse events in subjects who received INMAZEB may have been confounded by the signs and symptoms of the underlying Orthoebolavirus zairense infection. The most common adverse events reported in at least 20% of subjects who received INMAZEB were pyrexia (or elevation in fever), chills, tachycardia, tachypnea, and vomiting. The adverse event profile in adult and pediatric subjects treated with INMAZEB was similar.
Adverse EventAdverse events in this table were reported as preferred terms from a list of pre-defined or other adverse events that occurred on the day of infusion, and included signs and symptoms that occurred during or immediately after infusion | INMAZEB (N=154) % |

The following pre-specified symptoms, which were assessed on a daily basis while admitted to the treatment unit, were reported in 40% or more of subjects who received INMAZEB: diarrhea, pyrexia, and vomiting. Evaluation of these symptoms may have been confounded by the underlying Orthoebolavirus zairense infection.
Discontinuation and Infusion Rate Adjustments in the PALM Trial
Approximately 99% of subjects who received INMAZEB in the PALM trial were able to complete their dose within three hours. Two subjects who received INMAZEB (1%) did not receive their complete infusion. One of the two subjects did not complete their INMAZEB infusion because of fever elevation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Selected Laboratory Abnormalities in the PALM Trial
Table 5 presents selected laboratory abnormalities (worsening to Grade 3 or 4 compared to baseline) for adult and pediatric subjects in the PALM trial.

6.2 Immunogenicity
As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the study described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab products may be misleading.
The development of anti-atoltivimab, anti-maftivimab, and anti-odesivimab antibodies was evaluated in 24 healthy adults in a single dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study. Immunogenic responses against atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab were not detected at baseline or through 168 days post-dose in any subjects.
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
Interaction with live vaccine indicated for prevention of Orthoebolavirus zairense infection: No vaccine interaction studies have been performed. INMAZEB may reduce the efficacy of the live vaccine. The interval between live vaccination following initiation of INMAZEB therapy should be in accordance with current vaccination guidelines. (7.1)
7.1 Vaccine Interactions
No vaccine-therapeutic interaction studies have been performed in human subjects using INMAZEB. However, because of the potential for INMAZEB to inhibit replication of a live vaccine virus indicated for prevention of Orthoebolavirus zairense infection and possibly reduce the efficacy of the vaccine, avoid the concurrent administration of a live vaccine during treatment with INMAZEB. The interval between live vaccination following initiation of INMAZEB therapy should be in accordance with current vaccination guidelines. The efficacy of INMAZEB among subjects who reported receipt of a recombinant live vaccine prior to their enrollment in the PALM clinical trial was similar to subjects who did not receive a vaccine.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Lactation: Patients infected with Orthoebolavirus zairense should be instructed not to breastfeed due to the potential for Orthoebolavirus zairense transmission. (8.2)
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Orthoebolavirus zairense infection is life-threatening for both the mother and fetus and treatment should not be withheld due to pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). Available data from the PALM trial and an expanded access program in which pregnant women with Orthoebolavirus zairense infection were treated with INMAZEB demonstrate the high rate of maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity consistent with published literature regarding the risk associated with underlying maternal Orthoebolavirus zairense infection. These data are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal/fetal outcome. Animal reproduction studies with INMAZEB have not been conducted. Human monoclonal antibodies, such as INMAZEB, are transported across the placenta; therefore, INMAZEB has the potential to be transferred from the mother to the developing fetus.
Clinical Considerations
Disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk
Maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes are poor among pregnant women infected with Orthoebolavirus zairense. The majority of such pregnancies result in maternal death with miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death. Treatment should not be withheld due to pregnancy.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that patients with confirmed Orthoebolavirus zairense not breastfeed their infants to reduce the risk of postnatal transmission of Orthoebolavirus zairense infection.
There are no data on the presence of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to atoltivimab, maftivimab, or odesivimab-ebgn are unknown.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of INMAZEB for the treatment of infection caused by Orthoebolavirus zairense have been established in pediatric patients from birth to less than 18 years of age. Use of INMAZEB for this indication is supported by evidence from a multi-center, open label, randomized controlled trial of INMAZEB in adults and pediatric subjects that included 39 pediatric subjects birth to less than 18 years of age, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Orthoebolavirus zairense infection. The 28-day mortality and safety in adult and pediatric subjects treated with INMAZEB were similar [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14)]. An additional 38 pediatric subjects from birth to less than 18 years of age received INMAZEB in an expanded access program.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of INMAZEB did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Of the 154 subjects with Orthoebolavirus zairense infection who received INMAZEB in the randomized controlled trial, 5 (3.2%) were 65 years or older. The limited clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger subjects.

12.4 Microbiology
Mechanism of Action
INMAZEB is a combination of three recombinant human IgG1κ monoclonal antibodies each targeting the Orthoebolavirus zairense glycoprotein (EBOV GP). Orthoebolavirus zairense (EBOV) encodes a sole envelope protein, the glycoprotein, which mediates virus attachment and membrane fusion with the host cell membranes. In addition, GP is expressed on the surface of Orthoebolavirus zairense infected host cells making it a target for antibodies that can mediate killing of these cells by antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity and/or other effector functions. The 3 antibodies that make up the combination bind to 3 non-overlapping epitopes on GP and all 3 antibodies can bind the GP simultaneously. The mean KD values for atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab were 7.84 nM, 3.34 nM, and 8.26 nM, respectively, as determined by surface plasmon resonance. Maftivimab is a neutralizing antibody that blocks entry of the virus into susceptible cells. Odesivimab is a non-neutralizing antibody that induces antibody-dependent effector function through FcyRIIIa signaling when bound to its target. Odesivimab also binds to the soluble form of Orthoebolavirus zairense glycoprotein (sGP). Atoltivimab combines both neutralization and FcyRIIIa signaling activities.
Antiviral Activity
In a live virus infection assay on Vero cells, maftivimab neutralized Mayinga, Kikwit, and Makona strains of Orthoebolavirus zairense, with a concentration between 0.2 and 1.2 nM (0.03 and 0.18 μg/mL) providing 80% inhibition of viral infection in a plaque-reduction neutralization test (PRNT-80). Atoltivimab and odesivimab did not demonstrate any neutralizing activity in this assay. Effector function activity of INMAZEB individual antibodies was assessed with an EBOV Makona-GP expressing cell line and Jurkat/NFAT-Luc/FcγRIIIa reporter effector cells. The EC50 values of atoltivimab and odesivimab were 2.9 nM and 1.6 nM, respectively, whereas maftivimab did not exhibit any FcγRIIIa signaling activity at the maximum concentration tested, 40 nM.
Treatment of Orthoebolavirus zairense infected rhesus macaques with a single intravenous dose of INMAZEB (50 mg of atoltivimab, 50 mg of maftivimab, and 50 mg of odesivimab per kg) generally protected infected animals from Orthoebolavirus zairense mediated death when drug was administered 5 days post-infection.
Resistance
No clinical data are available on the development of EBOV resistance to INMAZEB. Previously identified substitutions in EBOV were assessed for activity in binding, neutralization and ADCC. Results of these assays are presented in Table 7, Table 8, and Table 9. The clinical significance of these substitutions is unknown.
Binding Activity
Binding was assessed with an electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based assay using virus like particles (VLPs) pseudotyped with EBOV Makona 2014 reference GP or variant EBOV GP. The results of this assay are shown in Table 7.

Neutralization Activity
Neutralization by atoltivimab, maftivimab, and INMAZEB was assessed using VLPs pseudotyped with EBOV Makona 2014 reference GP or variant EBOV GP. Odesivimab did not demonstrate any neutralizing activity in this assay. The results of this assay are shown in Table 8.

P34S | NCNC, no change: <4.3-fold reduction in neutralization activity compared to EBOV Makona 2014 reference GP. A <4.3-fold change in EC50 value is within the inherent variability of this assay. However, the <4.3 fold-change threshold cannot rule out the possibility that substitutions that lead to fold-changes below this threshold have a meaningful impact on neutralization. The clinical significance of a ≥ 4.3-fold reduction in neutralization activity is unknown | NC | NC |

Antibody-dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity
The potential to mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) was assessed using a surrogate ADCC reporter bioassay measuring FCGR3A signaling. Maftivimab did not demonstrate any ADCC activity in this assay. The results of this assay are shown in Table 9.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of INMAZEB was evaluated in PALM, a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID; NCT03719586). The trial was conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an outbreak began in August 2018, and enrolled 681 subjects of all ages, including pregnant women, with documented Orthoebolavirus zairense infection and symptoms of any duration who were receiving optimized standard of care (oSOC). Subjects were randomized to receive INMAZEB (50 mg of atoltivimab, 50 mg of maftivimab, and 50 mg of odesivimab per kg) intravenously as a single infusion, an investigational control 50 mg/kg intravenously every third day, for a total of 3 doses, or other investigational drugs. Eligible subjects had a positive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the nucleoprotein (NP) gene of Orthoebolavirus zairense and had not received other investigational treatments (with the exception of experimental vaccines) within the previous 30 days. Neonates ≤7 days of age were eligible if the mother had documented infection. Neonates born to a mother who had cleared Orthoebolavirus zairense following a course of her assigned investigational medication were also eligible to be enrolled at investigator discretion regarding the likelihood that the neonate was infected. Randomization was stratified by reverse transcription-PCR cycle threshold calculated using NP targets (CtNP ≤22.0 vs >22.0; corresponding to high and low viral load, respectively) and Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) site. All subjects received oSOC consisting of a minimum of intravenous fluids, daily clinical laboratory testing, correction of hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalances, and broad-spectrum antibiotics and antimalarials, as indicated.
The primary efficacy endpoint was 28-day mortality. The primary analysis population includes all subjects who were randomized and concurrently eligible to receive either INMAZEB or the investigational control during the same time period of the trial.
The demographics and baseline characteristics are provided in Table 10 below.
